Washington County 3 d ss. District of Columbia
On this 18 th day of June 1834 personally appeared before me the undersigned Chief Judge of the Circuit and sole Judge of the District Court of the U.S. for the S. District Court of said District, William Payhatt formerly a resident of Wayne County in the State of Ohio now a resident of the County and District aforesaid, aged between 85 and 86 years, who being by me first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefits of the Act of Congress passed the 7 th day of June 1832. That in the month of November or December 1777 he entered the service of the United States at Portsmouth, New Hampshire as a seaman on board the Frigate Ranger, commanded by Captain Paul Jones and sailed thence on a cruise to Nantz, in France; after remaining a short time in that port, sailed thence to Quiberon Bay and Brest; thence proceeded on a cruise up the Irish Channel and the coast of Galloway. During this cruise we landed a party on the Isle of St. Marys and took possession of the Earl of Selkirk's house, from which we took all of his plate and other valuable articles, which were afterwards returned by Captain Jones. We also made an attack on White Haven, and burnt a considerable number of the enemy's merchant vessels. We likewise took on this cruise the enemy's ship of war, called the "Drake" and a merchant vessel called the "Lord Chatham" bound from London to Dublin. The prize ship "Drake" was afterwards given in command to Lieutenant Hall, one of the Officers of the Ranger. Some time in June or July 1778 the Ranger returned to Nantz, and shortly afterwards, Lieutenant Simpson, the S d Lieutenant of the Ranger took command of her and was ordered to proceed to the United States. We arrived at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, some time in the month of November, or December 1778 when the claimant was discharged from service. In consequence of old age and the loss of memory, he is unable to state

positively how long he served, but, according to the best of his recollection and belief, he served not less than eleven months, for which service he claims a pension. He would further state that in the year 1797 or 1798 he entered the service of the United States as a seaman, at Philadelphia, on board the frigate Langes , commanded by Captain Tingey and served on board said frigate one year. That he has no evidence of his revolutionary service, and knows no person living who can prove the same. He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension, except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension rolls of the Agency of any State or Territory. That he was born in the City of Dublin, he thinks, in the month of August 1742. Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
And the said Judge doth hereby declare his opinion, that the above named applicant was a revolutionary seaman and served as he states.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 18 th of June 1834.
